After a few reschedules, today was Braydon's 18 month well baby check up. His new measurements are 32 lbs, 35 inches tall. He is in the 97th percentile for both his height and weight. The Doctor showed me the chart of Braydon's growth and weight and it showed that at this period in his life he should slow down a little. He also suggested that we start thinking about how we plan to discipline him as he gets older. Basically he said that we look at it now because he is getting to the point where he knows that he shouldn't be doing certain things and he does them just to get a rise out of us. It helps that the Doctor has a son who is two months older then Braydon! Braydon also got some shots today and blood work done. I think the worst part was the blood work because they pricked his finger and then we had to wait while he dripped enough blood into the vial.
There was one shinning moment at today's visit and I guess I just thinking it was a funny moment, well actually there were two. The first was the fact that any time someone walked by while we were waiting for the Doctor Braydon would wave to them, and it's not a normal wave it's more of a parade wave! The second was when he was getting his shots and he looked around at everyone as if he was taking a picture and remembering that they did this to him. We'll see if that is really what he was thinking when we see one of the nurses who is a friend of ours outside of the hospital. All in all Braydon had a good appointment and he is maturing nicely. Now if only he would stop throwing tantrums! Guess it will be a while before that happens!
